BLOG 3 • Relationships Between Shots
For this assignment, you will pick a film scene (any genre) and break it down shot by shot. Please don’t give the plot summary. This blog is about editing choices.
Describe how each shot relates to the next one/ previous one by identifying editing strategies. Are the cuts made in accordance with continuity editing protocols or in a “montage” approach? Example: Matched action? 180 rule? Jump cuts? Graphic matches? Eyeline matches? You can identify point-of-view shots? How are the shots organized in terms of their content, composition, color, movement?
Speculate on how the specific editing approach may have served the intentions of the film's makers.
Find a short piece of media (90 seconds can be plenty) you can watch several times on YouTube or Vimeo.
If you can, please create a link in your blog to the media, or embed the clip (analyzing a piece of media allows you to reproduce it under the Fair Use aspects of Copyright Law).
